Lost.
Well. Another fine mess I'd gotten myself into. Great job A.L. Or what he used to call me anyway. Cheap bastard. No more of a drinking buddy than he was my friend. I stare now, at nothing but leaves and more green. Everything is just...so...damn green. I hate it. I hate everything, and I hate everyone. I can't trust a damn person. I want to cry on the inside, but I don't and I won't. Stay tough, chica. That's what my mother would say. Only she wasn't here right now. Thank fuck for small miracles. Peering through a large leaf I take it back just a few inches, only to duck my head to the side as it suddenly lashed out like a crazy tree leaf, nearly smacking me square in the face. Perfect. I was lost. And stuck on an island. Well, yeah, I knew the second part. Did they not trust me? I hadn't told them I was trained...how stupid could I be? Did they know? Could they see it? No. I might have been a bad liar, but as long as I keep my mouth shut, I'm home free. There had been children. I tried to keep them with me...but failed. Miserably. Blaming myself wasn't going to change anything. The others were out there. And even if they had wanted me to die, or I had willed myself to 'get lost' so to speak. I wasn't going to back down. No way in hell, I'll find those murderers and send them back to where they belong.
As a little girl I had dreams of being a cop.
"Someday... I'm gonna' be on SWAT."
People would look at me funny, and then some half-ass man would reply what would a woman be doing on SWAT? That really pissed me off.
I won't admit it. But I'm scared. Not even all the damn training in the world from the National Guard or the LAPD could even prepare me for what I was about to go through. Trying again with that leaf, I finally stepped through the brush over to another side. More green. More trees. More noises. It was like I can't think right now. Raising an eyebrow in a quirk, I just stand there a moment...but there was something I knew that wasn't animalistic. A voice. Only, I had no idea where it was coming from. There was someone here, or I was just going insane. Not about to yell out and get my ass handed to me, I stay still. Another thing we had practiced in training. How not to move when the enemy was near. It was me now. No fucked up man with a television set, and most certainly no whiney mother...but then again, my past wasn't exactly with me now. I could start new...
For now.
Ana-Lucia, what the hell did you get yourself into now?
